The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Rescued
At once, the attention of everyone in the room went to the phone, as it continued to ring. As soon as Melvin confirmed that it was Isabella who was calling, he lifted his face to look at Jason with a little tension in his body.“It’s her. She is the one calling.” “Kelvin? Are you ready?” Jason turned to look at Kelvin who nodded at once before he turned to look at the screen of his laptop, ready to begin his work. Jason cleared his throat at once, and then he turned to look at Melvin who was waiting to hear what he was going to say. “Go ahead, take the call. But remember to be cool, don’t make her get suspicious, we can’t risk this chance. It’s now or never.” “Got it.” Melvin nodded, and then he dragged the green icon on the screen of the phone and answered the call. “Hello? Miss Palmer?” Kelvin said with a voice a little above a whisper, but he was only met with a few seconds of silence. He looked at Jason, but he gestured to him to remain calm so that he wouldn’t give h

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank goodness!” Melvin walked from one corner ofthe hall to another and clapped his hands severally after he gasped in excitement. Eventually, he let down the tears that were gathered up in his eyes, they were tears of joy. He couldn’t keep himself from chuckling severally in joy, and severally, he gasped and sighed in relief while the rest of the men watched him in satisfaction. “Congratulations, Doctor! I told you they were going to be fine.” “Yes, you did! Yes, you did, Mr. Caruso! I am so glad I trusted you on this, I almost doubted the fact that you were going to be able to help me with this. Now I know that this righteousness truly helps.” Melvin said with so much gladness, and then he walked up to Jason with his smile unbroken, and he attempted to get on his knees in excitement. “Thank you so much for saving my family, Mr. Casruso! I owe you, big time!” “No! No! Please, don’t do that! You don’t have to!” Jason quickly grabbed him by his arms and stopp

“Can I ask you a few questions, Young Master?” James said calmly while they walked toward the car, causing Jason to turn to look at him for a while. “Sure, James. What is it?” Jason waited to hear what James was going to say, while the bodyguard looked for a better way to direct his question toward his boss. “Why did the Doctor keep referring to you as Mr. Caruso? And why don’t you have the Palmers destroyed with a snap of your fingers? You don’t really have to do so much, just say the words, and everyone will be at your disposal, you are the most powerful man in Granada Hills and beyond, well, aside from your Grandfather.” Jason looked at James for a while, and gradually the curiosity on his face disappeared, and a smile began to take over. He took in a deep breath which he exhaled sharply while the bodyguard waited to hear from him. “Well, first of all, James. Everyone knows me as Jason Caruso, and I am still not ready to reveal my true identity until I am certain of several
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Resume
Jason walked directly to the dining hall without turning, and just as he had hoped, breakfast was ready. He sat on the table, ready to get rid of the hunger that had been making his stomach rumble for a while. “What’s for breakfast?” He turned to look at the chef who was standing a short distance beside him with a smile on her face. “Scrambled eggs and oatmeal, Sir.” She said with a low tone but still held onto her smile as she stared at Jason with both of her hands clasped in front of her. “Is everything alright?” Jason asked calmly as soon as he realized that she had been staring at him for a while without any plans to withdraw her eyes from him. “No, Sir. There is no problem at all.” She bent her face to the ground, but that didn’t stop her from smiling. “Are you sure? You were staring for so long. Is anything wrong with my outfit?” Jason looked at his shirt to be sure that he wasn’t looking shabby, and he could see that his outfit was neat and smooth. “Nothing is wrong

“Alright, Harry. Thank you for this.“ Jason lifted the document toward Harry who nodded with signs of uncertainty written all over his face. “I will be going now, Harry. And by the way, Rose is still here with us, please make sure she is comfortable.” “Will do.” “Thank you, Harry,” Jason said with a satisfied smile, and then he started walking toward the car while James looked at him for a while, wondering why he was dressed so simply if he was going to work. “Do you want me to come with you, Young Master? That would ensure a smooth transmission. That way, no one would really have to disrespect you.” Harry couldn’t stop himself from saying those words, as his concern continued to linger. “That’'s going to ruin everything, Harry. Remember that the plan is to work there without any special attention, including the fact that no one should treat me based on any relationship with you or any member of my family.”“Right..” Harry sighed heavily, and then he looked at Jason who got
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Discharged
“Why? Is there any problem?” Brenda asked, looking at Jason who seemed a bit worried. “It’s an emergency, okay? I will explain everything to you later. But I need him to leave this place immediately. The nurses insisted that Doctor Melvin must be here before he is discharged. Is it possible for you to discharge him? I mean, this is your father’s hospital, and I think they trust you.” Brenda looked into Jason’s eyes, and she could see the desperation buried deep inside them, while she wondered what was really going on with him. “Brenda?”“Uhm? Yes, yes, I can get him discharged.” “Perfect! Thank you so much. I promise I am going to explain everything to you as soon as all of this is settled.” “Yes, you should. Because you are really acting strange.” Brenda said calmly, while she continued to look at Jason from his face to some other parts of his body just to be sure that there was nothing wrong with him. “Okay. I just need to run some checks on him, and then I can write a

Jason continued looking at the Doctor together with the trolley until they were almost out of sight. Suddenly, he remembered that he had an appointment, and then he gasped. “Oh, no! I am late.” He looked at the time on his wristwatch, and then he hurriedly returned back to the car. He got into the backseat, and then he rested his back on the backseat while James looked at him through the rearview mirror. “Let’s go, Harry. I am late!” “Okay, Young Master.” James nodded, and then he turned on the ignition of the car and drove onto the road, increasing the speed of the car with every passing second once he was certain that there was no car coming from behind the car. Jason adjusted his shirt and made sure that his hair was okay by looking at his reflection in the rearview mirror even though he couldn't get a clear view of himself. After about twenty minutes, they were able to get to their destination and James parked the car in the parking area in front of the main build

Jason turned around slowly, and then he moved to the seat and sat down slowly with his eyes scouring the entire place. He remained seated and occasionally looked at the secretary who was so busy with her computer that she barely lifted her eyes from the keyboard she was typing with. A few minutes later, the door to the Manager's office opened slowly, causing Jason to lift his head as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening, followed by two male voices.“Great, when I thought today was going to go smoothly,” Jason grunted as soon as he recognized the man who was walking out of the office with the Manager. They had smiles plastered on their faces, but the Manager seemed like he was smiling out of courtesy, while the middle-aged man beside him seemed a bit more excited. “Alright, Mr. Palmer. I have heard everything you have said, and I will definitely give it a thought. But I need you to remember that I don’t make the final shots.” The Manager said to Morgan after they sh
